Answer:
C. [tex] d = 15.81 units [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
2 end points on a graph => (5, 6) and (-4, -7)
Required:
Distance between them
SOLUTION:
Distance between two points in a graph can be calculated using [tex] distance (d) = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} [/tex]
Where,
[tex] (-4, -7) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]
[tex] (5, 6) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]
Plug in the values into the formula and solve
[tex] d = \sqrt{(5 - (-4))^2 + (6 - (-7))^2} [/tex]
[tex] d = \sqrt{(5 + 4))^2 + (6 + 7))^2} [/tex]
[tex] d = \sqrt{(9)^2 + (13)^2} [/tex]
[tex] d = \sqrt{81 + 169} [/tex]
[tex] d = \sqrt{250} [/tex]
[tex] d = 15.81 units [/tex]
